Political Humor

There is a great Branco cartoon leading off the Lucianne.com compendium today. It's based on what should have been said at a real event. Always cautious about copyright issues, I'll describe it for you and quote the voice balloon.

Picture a grumpy Hillary giving the commencement address at Yale, holding aloft a Russian ushanka hat - this much actually happened. The voice balloon is where the cartoon diverges from her text, it has her saying:
I tried to rig an election,
I spied on my opponent,
I gave Russia U.S. uranium,
I bought fake intel from them,
And all I got was
This lousy hat.
Only a slight exaggeration. Russians paid the Clinton Foundation big bucks to facilitate the uranium sale, she "gave" them nothing.
